Not getting started (poem)

24 Jan

Not getting started

If I am to get there, then I’d better start to run,
So others tell me, just in case I miss all the fun.
There will be loud music, with lots of dancing as well,
Which means that if I want to chat, I will have to yell.
Friends call me urgently, so afraid I might forget,
But if my truth must be told, I haven’t started yet.

There is a new shop opening up in town today,
There’s bound to be some special offers out on display.
My friends are all so excited, making such a fuss,
Saying that if my car breaks down, then just take the bus.
I see it’s raining, so I must prepare to get wet,
But I just have to admit, I haven’t started yet.

I watch the world rush around me on this busy day,
Briefly people come close, before going their own way.
So rarely a word is spoken, just a brief hello,
They tell me that I could miss out! If I go too slow.
That If I don’t speed up, my choices I will regret,
But within my calmer life, that hasn’t started yet.

Woodland peacefulness (poem)

27 Jan

Woodland peacefulness

Peacefulness, calmness, there is nothing raging around,
Quietness within the woodland all around you, is found.
The busyness of your life can no longer be heard,
So nature steps in, bringing the singing of a bird.
A whisper comes traveling upon the passing breeze,
From the gently swaying of the branches in the trees.

Within this peaceful moment you have found in this day,
Let nature take all those stresses of your life away.
Let nature do all the work as it passes you by,
Whilst you watch it pushing the clouds across the sky.
Whilst you watch the rivers, their busy waters flowing,
See the riverbanks where the wildflowers are growing.

Nature will keep on working when you need time to rest,
Just let it wander on by, for it knows what is best.
Enjoy this moment, let go of life’s expectations.
Enjoy this moment, accept natures inspirations.
Walking through the woodland, take the peacefulness you find,
Keep it safe within when you leave the woodland behind.

A quiet spot of your own (poem)

22 Jan

A quiet spot of your own

A quiet spot far away from the crowd,
Just a quiet place where nothing’s too loud.
Somewhere your life can settle for a while,
Instead of a frown, recover a smile.
A place of calm where your tension eases,
Where your mind can drift to where it pleases.
Somewhere special, where your stress can depart,
A place where you time is ruled by your heart.

A quiet spot where you can take a rest,
To just sit back and see life at its best.
A chance for your inner spirit to renew,
Opening your eyes, enjoying the view.
Closing your eyes, reflecting within,
Letting the dreams of tomorrow begin.
And when from this spot, it’s time to depart,
Tuck a piece of it’s peace within your heart.

A moment of happiness (poem)

26 Sep

A moment of happiness

A moment of happiness, a moment to smile,
A moment to let cheerfulness appear for a while.
A bright sunny morning, the birds greeting the dawn,
Brings a moment of joy as they land on the lawn.
A red sky above you, the birds return to their nest,
Brings a moment of calm as the sun goes for its rest.

A moment of fun, to let your laughter flow again,
Singing out loud on your own, or dancing in the rain.
A moment shared with friends, of playing games in the park,
Or that moment when you all lit candles in the dark.
A moment spent remembering the fun in your past,
Returns with happy memories that were made to last.

Any moment is precious, you have many inside,
All waiting for you to let them pop up outside.
Just look up at the stars or feel the wind in your hair,
Let your mind seize this moment and enjoy what’s there.
Even in darkness you can find a moment of light,
For within your heart, happiness is always in sight.

Don’t let the anger win (poem)

29 Jun

Don’t let the anger win

Don’t let the anger win, don’t let the poison start.
Don’t let the hate begin, and tear us all apart.
One world we all do share, one life we call our own.
But others are out there, we do not live alone.
What good is hate to all? What good is angers bite?
When all we do is fall, as mankind starts to fight.

One way there is to walk, a hard march for the heart,
If we could learn to talk, and not get torn apart.
If love’s banner waves high, above a hateful word.
Then peace we all can cry, and let that word be heard.
We bring ourselves to fight, for peace and love, as one.
Those words we can unite, and in our name, be done.
